Question Time

[Chris in London]

Yes agree but I fear this next lot more, watch your pensions, they always raid something or saddle the country with debt. Growth, they know nothing about it.

You voted for Brexit and you’re worried about growth?

 

[Jimmieblue]

You have literally lived through the worst government in history.

The NHS is not fit for purpose
Children cannot get dentists appointments.
Our justice system is broken.
The prisons are so full that the courts cannot send anyone there anyway.
Our civil service is massively overworked to the point that they cannot process the work, including immigration and asylum applications, that it receives.
Our military is rapidly losing capacity.
We do not have enough police, firefighters, teachers, nurses or doctors.
Our rivers and beaches are full of shit.

They absolutely trashed the economy, with dire consequences for homeowners and rent payers alike.

And it is a government that lies with impunity and thinks the rules don’t apply to them. That is why the Queen was lied to about the prorogation of Parliament, why Boris Johnson lied to Parliament, why parties were held during lockdown at number 10 and why in one last show of their rotten underbelly, the latest bunch of insider traders were using confidential knowledge to bet on the date of the election.

And your response is ‘But Labour?’

Seriously?

PFI! The interest being paid on that is enormous, the Gold Reserves, what happened to that … oh yes they cashed it in. Sorry I’ve lived through the Wilson years, when I was raising 2 children and prices went up every time you went to shop. There are only the pension funds to raid and they’ll start nibbling at them.

Yeah but Profumo.

 

[Jimmieblue]

Can you elaborate e.g. in which way or measured against Sunak et al

It’s not been good, they have been a bad government, but he saved a lot of peoples jobs through Covid, and we’ve given loads to Urkraine quite rightly, but to hand what’s left to the Labour Party, fills me with dread. He’s hardly been out of London all his life!

Not just your pensions, anyone with a job, a car, a house, savings will be fair game to Starmer and his coven of witches when they show their true colours after they are elected.

That didn't really answer the question as to how Labour will make people worse off

talk like that will get all the socialist bully boys on here ganging up on you

 

[Jimmieblue]

Yes, because I believe we’ll go back into Europe when it’s reformed from the inside, they can’t do without us.

 

[maxwellblue]

Nope, just not deluded

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Nope, just not deluded

The polls suggest that you might be.

Corrected it for you. My statement is equally as valid as yours. Scaremonger.

They have lasted so far without us. Another disillusioned Tory.

I'm quite content that my version will prove to be the accurate one.....unfortunately.

or they may suggest that the vast majority of the voting public are like turkeys voting for christmas

 

[Vic]

Having lived through five Labour governments and watched them gradually dumb the country down, it makes me sad they’ll beelected. I know the ordinary working man will end up worse off. I am sad for our children and grandchildren because we’ll have to watch the same meltdown that we’ve watched before. No faith whatsoever, seen it all before and this bunch of liberal elites are worse than ever.

Just weird. Sort of thing you might hear on Question Time never mind in the QT thread.

Maybe, although it might just be that they want the most corrupt, immoral government of their lifetimes out of power.

Just weird. Labour governments pay off Tory debt.

Of course your'e not

Don't get me wrong I can see why they are tempted to vote for change. Unfortunately for all their failings ( and there are many, I agree)They are still a better proposition than Starmer and co, IMO of course.
